The SV-2 MKII Stirling Engine Generator on YouTube The other day I was going through the many Stirling engine generator videos on YouTube. Most of the time I see small hobby type Stirling engines with little or no hope of generating usable electricity. Many of these Stirling projects are inspiring. However, few have a practical […]
Simple Soda Can Stirling Engine This is the first Soda can Stirling engine that I built. The soda can Stirling engine is a great place to start if you want to build a Stirling engine. The design is inexpensive and quick to build. This Stirling engine is a Gamma configuration. Video of my first Soda […]
6 cylinder Stirling engine update by Approtechie Approtechie just uploaded an update on the improvements made to his 6 cylinder Stirling engine! If you’ve seen his other videos you’ll be able to pick out the changes. He adjusts the air pressure in the 6 cylinder Stirling engine while it’s running and you can see a […]
Worlds first Downloadable Stirling Engine Kit Doug Conner the owner and author of Solarheatengines.com has created the worlds first downloadable LTD Stirling engine kit. His YouTube video explains most of the project. However, there is much more detailed information in his articles (links and bottom of this article). My goal in designing this engine was […]
Stirling Hot Air Engine Principles Video In this video Tubalcain goes over the principles of a Stirling hot air engine. The engine in the video is one the he built himself. It looks like he may have cast the main body of the engine and machined the rest. Mrpete222 (Tubalcain) has many very good how-to […]
Philips MP1002 CA a Stirling cycle engine In this video Barumman talks about the Philips Stirling cycle engine generator he purchased from a local technical college. It was used as an educational aid to help represent various aspects of thermodynamics. It was purchases in 1961 and was in in storage for many years. He managed […]
Real time LTD Stirling engine pressure volume diagram Hirokonakahara has a few fascinating videos on YouTube. He has successfully attached sensors to his LTD Stirling engine by Kontax and managed to create a real time Stirling engine pressure volume diagram on his computer! As he runs his diagnostics on the LTD you can see the PV diagram change with and without […]
Approtechie’s 10 Watt DIY Stirling engine Approtechie has made some really captivating Stirling engines. In this video he is testing his 10 watt DIY Stirling engine. The top speed measured during the test was 1685 RPM. 1685 rpm 10-watt DIY Stirling engine video I think this beta type Stirling engine is faster than his other gamma […]
Homemade Stirling engine generator I love how affective these simple designs are. I’m always amazed with the performance of Approtecie’s Stirling engine generators. This video shows the electric fan consuming 2.4 watts. From what I can see this engine is capable of doing some work. Which is better than most of the little science project […]
Very fast homemade 1200 rpm Stirling engine This little Stirling is for the lack of a better term KICK ASS! Approtechie is the only garage inventor that I’ve seen with a simply built 1200 rpm Stirling engine! If you search through the thousands of Stirling engine videos on YouTube you’ll find a large variety of […]
Video Tutorial on how to make a Single cylinder Stirling engine This is a great video by RimstarOrg on Youtube. It’s a straight forward single cylinder Stirling engine tutorial. I like the simplicity of this Beta Stirling engine. It uses a tomato soup can, balsa wood, thread, a latex balloon, a clothes hanger, some tacks […]
Five Cylinder Stirling Engine by Jozafax This is a great little Five cylinder Stirling engine by Jozafax on Youtube. It looks like he has put a lot of care into the fabrication and assembly of this engine. Video of a five cylinder Stirling engine Skip to the first minute mark to see the engine running. […]
Stirling Engine Videos by Approtechie I love Approtechie’s 6-cylinder Stirling engine! His assembly video make is look easy to make this type of engine. I hope he make more of this type because they’re very inspirational. The assembly video This is mostly a photo sequence of how I built my 6-cylinder Stirling engine, but much […]
Types of Stirling Engine Generators Stirling engine generator designs vary based on the intended purpose. There are many Stirling engine configurations that will generate electricity. Starting with little model engines that generate just enough electricity to light an LED Light to large 25 KW Stirling engine generators that power many homes. […]
Books on how to make a Stirling engine There are many ways to learn how to make a Stirling engine. If you want to just get going and make your first DIY Stirling engine and you don’t care about looks or precision (I mean machine shop precision) then I would suggest some of Jim R. […]
